Unless intimately familiar with the game settings and INIs, it is recommended to leave the launcher settings as they were set in the STEP Guide. However, they may be changed to the hearts content, as long as the game remains stable. If the settings are changed, keep the following in mind: | Unless intimately familiar with the game settings and INIs, it is recommended to leave the launcher settings as they were set in the STEP Guide.

:Select a screen resolution of 1920x1080 or higher. This will provide a true high definition (HD) testing environment. Antialiasing should be set to at least 4x and AF to 16x. SMAA can be used in place of normal AA. All view distance sliders should be at least halfway; maxed out is preferred. Distant object detail should be medium, at the lowest, but High or Ultra settings is preferred. FXAA should be disabled (unchecked). | :Select a screen resolution of 1920x1080 or higher.

It is recommended to test a mod on default high or ultra INI settings. Keep in mind that testing on ultra may skew the results of the testing slightly in some circumstances, especially if others may want to use the mod. The majority of Skyrim users will not have high end computer setups which are able to run on maxed out, ultra settings. | It is recommended to test a mod on default high or ultra INI settings.

These INI tweaks will log mod issues caused by errors in the mods scripts. Not all mods will contain scripts though. This tweak is applied to the Skyrim.ini file in the Mod Organizer INI editor. | These INI tweaks will log mod issues caused by errors in the mods scripts. Not all mods will contain scripts though.
